Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: To assess wheter sedation as measured by a VAS scale an BIS monitoring is increased in the alcohol conditions compared to the placebo condition. To assess wheter analgesia induced by oxycodone is affected by alcohol.;Primary end point(s): Observed respiratory depression while oxycodon20 mg is combined with placebo, alcohol 0.5 g/l or alcohol 1.0 g/l ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Ventilation is measured five times with a Vi-CO2 response curve. This is measured during baseline (no alcohol, no opioid), after start alcohol, after start opioids 3 times;Main Objective: To assess the respiratory effect of oxycodone when administered concomitantly with alchol

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Effect of alcohol on pressure pain measurements Effect of alcohol on level of sedation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pressure pain measurement will be done at baseline, after start alcohol infusion, 60 min after infusion, 120 min after ingestion, 180 min after ingestion Sedation will be continyously measured with a BIS
